Important safety
instructions
• The appliance should never be left
running unsupervised.
Product safety
The use of any electrical appliance
requires the following common sense safety
rules.
Primarily there is danger of personal
injury and secondly danger of damage to the
appliance and property. These are indicated
in the instructions text by the following two
conventions:
WARNING: Danger of personal injury
IMPORTANT: Damage to the appliance
In addition we offer the following
essential safety advice.
• Never use the appliance without the filter
installed.
• Never use the appliance to vacuum hot
ashes, broken glass, sharp objects or
liquids.
• Never modify the cleaner in any way.
• Repairs to electrical appliances are only
to be undertaken by trained personnel.
Unprofessional repairs can be dangerous
for users.
• Use only genuine Morphy Richards spare
parts and accessories.
Location
Electrical
requirements
• Do not use or keep this product outside
when it is raining.
• Do not store the appliance near hot ovens
or heating appliances.
Check that the voltage on the rating plate
of your appliance corresponds with your
house electricity supply which must be A.C.
(Alternating Current).
If the socket outlets in your home are not
suitable for the plug supplied with this
appliance, the plug should be removed and
the appropriate one fitted.
If you cut off the plug and let go of the
cable it will rewind into the machine.
Therefore you must pull out a length of cable
and secure it before cutting off the plug and
refitting a new one.
WARNING: The plug removed from
the mains lead, if severed, must be
destroyed as a plug with bared flexible
cord is hazardous if engaged into a live
socket outlet.
Should the fuse in the 13 amp plug
require replacement, a BS1362 13 amp fuse
must be fitted.
Mains lead
• Do not allow the mains lead to become
strained or run this appliance over it.
• If the electrical cable becomes damaged
the complete cable assembly must be
replaced. Do not attempt this task
yourself, contact us using the helpline
number.
Children
• Children do not understand the dangers
associated with operating electrical
appliances. Never allow children to use
this appliance.
Other safety considerations
• Never use in the presence of explosive
liquids or vapours.
• Never pick up inflammable or poisonous
liquids such as petrol, copier toner, or
other volatile substances. Never pick up
acids, asbestos or asbestos dust.
• Always disconnect the appliance from the
mains supply after use or prior to
cleaning or emptying.

Care and
maintenance
This filter should be replaced every
12 months or sooner if required.
Remove the exhaust filter grille by pulling
the locking tabs towards you L. Remove the
used filter. Insert the clean micro exhaust
filter and replace the filter grille.
Your cleaner is manufactured to withstand
normal day-to-day use, but an occasional
wipe over with a damp cloth will help
maintain its good looks. Abrasive cleaners
should not be used.
IMPORTANT
• Always disconnect the cleaner from the
mains when checking filters.
• All filters should be checked regularly for
signs of damage, preferably after each
cleaning task. The filters must be replaced
immediately if they become damaged.
• Always make sure all filters are fitted
before use. Failure to do so may result in
damage to your product.
• If the sound of the cleaner changes
slightly, clean the filters and check for
blockages.
Purchasing filters
Use original filters. Replacement filters
can be purchased from specialist retailers or
directly from our Replacement Parts
telephone number shown below.
Helpline
If you have any difficulty with your
appliance do not hesitate to call us. We are
likely to be more help than the store from
where it was bought.
Please have the following information
ready to enable our staff to help you.
• Name of product
• Model number as shown on the underside
of the appliance.
Safety cut-out
If the cleaner overheats a motor
protection thermostat will automatically
switch the cleaner off. If this happens,
switch the cleaner off, unplug from
power supply and leave the cleaner to
cool for at least 45 minutes. Check the
airways for blockages, empty dust canister
and clean the filters before restarting.
